For sizzling hot graphics that won’t burn up your video card, take a look at this Zalman VF700-CU VGA Cooler. If you’re a gamer, or you work extensively with moving images, this device is a ‘must have.’ This specialized model keeps your GPU running at much lower temps for consistent, extraordinary graphic images.
A fan controller comes packaged with this exquisite model; thus, affording you the opportunity to switch the fan between ‘Normal’ mode, where sound dips to a mere 18.5 dB, and ‘Silent’ mode, where noise is totally eliminated. This means you can catch a flick or engage in other audio-intensive PC mayhem, without the whirring noise of the fan!
Not only does this VGA cooler include a dual-pipe heatsink crafted out of 100-percent pure copper to protect your video card, but 8 copper heatsinks designed to protect your RAM modules as well. After all, if your system memory fails to keep its cool, how can you expect graphics to look their finest? For high-end gaming and graphics protection, the Zalman VGA Cooler is the way to go.

A MUST for Nvidia 6-series AGP!
- Pros: Easily outperforms any stock cooling setup. Lowered my idle temp from a stratospheric 63 celsius to a much more manageable 36.
It looks really cool, just like any Zalman product, and is really quiet.
- Cons: The ramsinks don't fit my card, but I don't need them.
Installation is a bit involved, but it's not difficult.
- Other Thoughts: I've got a eVGA 6600GT AGP, and this is pretty much the only alternative cooler that will fit it. The reason is the 6600GT is actually PCI-e, and there's an extra chip to translate between AGP and PCI-e. If the heatsink for this is integrated into your card's stock cooler, this won't work.
To make room for the AGP-PCI-e translator chip, the mounts are about 2cm higher than the 6600GT PCI-e (or any other card). The cooler extends out about 2cm over the edge of the card, and might hit the side of smaller cases.
Read the compatibility guide on Zalman's website.
Excellent!
- Pros: Wonderfull cooler. Silent on 5V mode, and very quiet on performance , which is great since I love to keep my computer very quiet. I have a BFG 7800GTX OC and with the reference cooler on it, I'd hit almost 80C at load and idle in the high 50s! After installation, I idle in the Mid 40s and load is around high 50s, never going past 60-61 C. Very happy, and there are enough ram sinks for the BFG 7800GTX OC Contrary to previous reviews. Perhaps the previous reviewer misunderstoon the IC chip on the card to be another ram chip, as there are only 8 ram pieces on the board.
- Cons: None!
- Other Thoughts: Get it, now.

COOL
- Pros: My 9800GT's were running way too hot. 60C at idle, 100C+ gaming. I tried more case fans, reapplying the thermal compound, with little affect. I couldn't play too long before it would crash. I bought a pair of these coolers even though it didn't explicitly say they'd fit, but the reviews were good and the price was right. The mounting holes on the backet didn't quite line up, so I drilled them out so they would. I installed them on my cards, and what a difference. 32C idle, 62C gaming, and that's after I overclocked the cards! The performance is great, the quality of materials is very good, and as a bonus, the fans are much quieter than the stock ones.
- Cons: Wish they made it fit 9800's out of the box.
Great VGA Cooler!
- Pros: Brought temperatures WAY down. Really good stuff.
- Cons: Comes with a plethora of wiring, which is necessary for the speed selection..but annoying to manage.
- Other Thoughts: would buy again. but with wire sleeves maybe.
EVGA 8600GTS-256M
- Pros: Remember the 8600GTS's that were selling for $30 and $40 a while back? - well they run pretty hot (56c and better at idle, 70's under load, even in a good (well ventilated) case. Well, with this cooler, (even in a cheap, small E-machines case), this idles at 43-44c, and only gets to 56c under load.
- Cons: Wish Zalman would add 1 more set of holes on the mounting arm, about 2-3mm inboard of the present ones. - I wouldn't have to dissemble the heatsink to add a hole or 2 for the units that won't fit as-is (Like the Galaxy 9800GT low-profile card). - The arm is heat-treated (and HARD), and while this is a GOOD thing, it's a bear to drill holes in.
- Other Thoughts: Fits 2 cards so far - the EVGA 8600GTS (256M), and the Galaxy (Low profile) 9800GT 512M. - Note - with the Low profile card, the fins are 1-1/2" above the card height, so this wouldn't work in a low-pro case. (I used this in an Apevia X-Cube)
